Prices: 2012 Corvette to see price increases

For 2012, Chevrolet announced that will increase list prices across the entire Corvette range. Moreover, the options and packages will also cost more for the 2012 model year.

The folks over at Corvette Blogger got their hands on a 2012 Chevrolet Corvette ordering guide from a local Chevy dealer, which revealed a jump of at least $500-1250 for the base price of the entire Corvette line up. Additionally, the automaker bumped up the destination fee ($975 compared to $950 for 2011).

To cite several examples, the basic Corvette Coupe rises from $49,995 to $50,500 (all prices include shipping, which rises by $25 to $975), while the Corvette Convertible climbs from $54,995 to $55,500. The Corvette Grand Sport Coupe jumps from $55,995 to $56,900, while the Corvette Grand Sport Convertible increases from $59,995 to $60,500.

The only exception in the 2012 Chevrolet Corvette lineup is the ZR1, which is getting a price drop of $75 to $112,500, including the $975 shipping charge.

The Corvette ZR1 3ZR package will run you the same $10,000 in 2012 that it does in 2011 and the ZR1 Performance Package adds on an extra $1,495.
